ISS MIMIC is a 1:100 scale articulating model of the International Space Station that runs off of live data streaming from the real ISS.  It is made from 3D printed truss elements, crew modules, radiators, solar arrays, and visiting vehicles. It is open source and uses familiar STEM components like Arduino and Raspberry Pi and was designed to be built by students and space geeks everywhere!

Educators! Go here: https://www.ISSMimicEDU.space. We have an ISS National Lab grant we are leveraging to create curriculum and build guides for you to use in your classroom!  This is for a smaller, cuter, simpler build we call Mini Mimic. :)  We've had two build sessions with educators and it has been amazing!  There are currently Mini-Mimic's in eight countries around the world!
